Silvered frost Glittering in braids Is woven delicately Through the lifeless oaken arms Creaking softly In the light of glassy stars. Space- cold, empty, And crying tears from shadowed eyes Measures the passage Of my frostbitten thoughts... Only crisp tendrils of wind Embrace me As I long for the shimmering warmth Of you. God, listen to me now For the crystal clumps of snow Bring numbness to my core... An ice-fire of emotion Blazes upon my eyelids I’m lost...and alone As sprays of silvered frost Glitter somewhere Where Springtime’s fertile hope Is still promised. *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |

Alwye, You have painted the most beautiful piture with your fabulous images. Well done!  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Oh, Krista.. The lonliness you've described here is exceptionally vivid. I can almost feel yesterday morning's frost glistening on my own skin. I'm thinking that this is a window into your emotions last night. I wish you didn't have to feel this way but at least you can vent your emotions in such a beautiful way. You're always in my heart, sweety. Exquisity writing Abrahm Simons "I'm not sick, but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in Hell." - Harvey Danger |

This is one of the finest works of poetry I've read on this board in a long time. I'm sorry to say i don't believe I've read any of yours, and I'm feeling badly about that. This is simply poetry with flow, expression, and as a nature lover, it is going into my library.. Please write more! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
